Last week I went to visit a dentist in Algodones, Mexico. The office and facilities are large and clean. The staff very friendly with some English spoken and the rest translated answered my questions. Yet I didn’t opt for their offer. I had specifically asked if they did the “All-on-4 fixed” denture implants when making the appointment. But they do something different which would require bone grafting and a sinus lift. No thanks, I already suffer from sinusitis. Plus still extremely expensive and would take until next October to complete. The all-on-4 implants are done in a day with my current dentures attached and in three months I’d get permanent porcelain teeth.
So even though I haven’t decided what to do about my teeth it wasn’t hard to decide to stay a second night at the Quechan Casino Resort. The Buffet and Food Court were both good although room service for breakfast was cold.
The highlight of the stay was soaking in the hot tub, several times. We passed on the cooler river/pool water that has a light current. Looked like fun if it had been warmer outside.
I only gambled the $10 given to me on my “free” club card. Oh yea, and $1 to get the card thing started. I’m not much of a gambler.
My purchases in Mexico included drugs and alcohol.
Unfortunately I started getting sick on our drive back home. Nose running, coughing and lost my voice for two days. I’m feeling a little better today, just not 100%.
Amarula sold in Mexico? I love the look of the spa. Sorry you're feeling ill, Gaelyn, and hope you feel better soon. Blessings and hugs Jo
Hope you feel better soon! That certainly looks like a good location for any type of dental work/recovery.
What a place…good luck in deciding about your teeth.
Is that South African Amarula? I think you made the right decision, I don't think I would like all that work done on me!!! Glad you are feeling a little better. Diane
hope you feel better soon.
i love the look of the spa.
I'm glad you said no…that is an extremely extensive surgery even in the best of hands. I just can't imagine what would happen if had complications.I know everything looks clean and I know lots and lots of people have dental work done in Mexico but….I read that the number one place for hetrosexual (sp..lol) people to contact aids is in the dental chair because of all the blood. That has always give me room to pause about any work done in Mexico. If the instruments are not sterilized in an auto-clave(sp?) they are not really sterilized….just my 2 cents worth. My e-mail is molliedog1@msn.com if you are ever passing by on the way to Wickenburg.
Sorry you're sick. Catching various bugs seems to go with traveling.
The resort looks nice. Too bad the dentist isn't offering the procedure you want.
Looks like a nice place to stay. Sorry you got sick.
The resort looks like a lot more fun than the dentists chair but it would be nice to find a solution to the dental problems.
I'm glad you are feeling better.
Oh Gaelyn, it sounds like this trip was a bust all around for the most part. So sorry…
Oh, well, a nice trip to Mexico, some drugs, alcohol, and vanilla. what more could you want?
Well shoot! I was hoping you'd been able to get the work done without further delay.
It doesn't seem like the trip was a total loss though! Those are the things I would have purchased.
At least it was a beautiful place to stay! I hope you find the perfect answer for your dental work. Sending you healing thoughts for your cold.
Best to trust your instincts and take more time to decide on what you should do. The procedure sounds painful and expensive. Hope you are better now.
YAY, I see South African Amarula. Did you buy it there. Amazing to see it.
